This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My neighbor puts away his outdoor decorations every day (sh.itjust.works)

Every day at about 5pm he puts out holiday decorations (right now Halloween, but same idea for Christmas later in the year), then at about 9:30pm (~4.5 hours later) he brings them in the garage.

Every.. single.. day. Same schedule.

We're talking multiple lawn inflatables, led lights, and other misc decorations.

I've never seen anyone else do this before (especially every day).

Is this a normal thing for others?

Other comments bring up vandalism or theft, but it could be a utility thing. Like he doesn't want to pay for all that electricity.

But at that point, why not just get those timers?

You dont need to move an object indoors or to install a timer to turn it off

You don't need to do either if you just fucking unplug them.

They look really depressing deflated. It may be an appearance thing combined with frugality. Its probably not that, but it could be that.
